Dean Ball's interview contained so many "likes" that if was almost unlistenable.
Enjoy the topics covered by Hidden Forces. Great host too. But, if you have misophonia, just beware that because the microphone/audio is so clear, you will hear if a guest is a lip-smacker, or sounds “wet mouthed,” or breathes loudly. I couldn’t get through the surveillance state topic because the mics picked up the guest’s wet smacks a little too clearly. I wish these sounds could be edited out or mitigated somehow. Thankful a transcript is provided!
So much propaganda.
Especially when by being open minded he exposes “intellectual-yet-idiots” like Bruno Macaes. Overall, be brings a fascinating array of thinkers on and that makes for a lively show.
I’ve been listening to Demetri Kofinas for so long and being thinking of writing a five star review for a lot as well. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it due to my choice of podcast. With iPad I can finally finish this.
I appreciate all the talks and books and lately the newsletters. I need to work out my payment method so that I can pay some fees. You know I am cut off from the rest of the world.
Thank You Thank you Thank you
